Why do SSDs have a more limited number of times data can be written to them, but RAM memory can handle loads of re-writes? - eviltoast

    Note that when you freeze the RAM a lot, it will hold the data for up to seconds (if I remember correctly). This is used in hacking - you can get the contents of the RAM after the computer has been shutdown.
